Abstract
THE EXCAVATION of a much-ruined building in the outer court of this important Cistercian abbey, identified originally by Sir William St John Hope as the monastic bakehouse, revealed extensive remains of an aisled structure, now identified as the woolhouse with six principal phases of building. At first a storehouse, it was later used for the fulling and finishing of cloth. The building was dismantled some fifty years before the suppression of the house, much of the discarded architectural detail remaining where it had fallen, permitting accurate reconstruction of the building and the recovery of many internal fittings which had been left in situ. The building has now been consolidated for public display.
